This is another laugh... has anybody ever seen a legitimate, dangerous virus

I haven't seen one in a while, but back in the late 90s there were a few
viruses that came as uuencoded files in a plain text e-mail. Some
examples are the Happy 99, Zacker (aka Maldal) and My Party viruses.
You really cannot make any assumptions that only mime or html emails are
potentially unsafe.
